Guilin 4-day tour, 2 people.


Arrive at Guilin North Railway Station on the evening of April 4 (Guilin is far west, North Railway Station and Guilin Railway Station are closer to the scenic spot, and the nearby area is bustling)

Play in Guilin City on April 5th.

Visit the Li River on April 6 and go to Yangshuo.

On April 7, I went to Longsheng to play Longji Terrace.

Return to Guilin on April 8 and return.


Regarding Guilin, it has always been influenced by two plots and had a plan to visit it for a long time. One is the memory of "Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world" and "People are swimming in paintings" in the primary school text "Guilin Mountains and Waters". The other is a 20-yuan landscape picture on the back. I took advantage of this Qingming Festival to fulfill my wish. There are high-speed trains in Guilin City and Yangshuo County. If you are interested in the history of characters, you suggest spending a day in Guilin and a day in Yangshuo. If you just want to see the scenery, you suggest going directly to Yangshuo for a day and a half. After returning to Guilin the next afternoon, you will take a boat to visit the two rivers and four lakes in the evening. Most of the scenic spots are in Yangshuo, and most of the scenic spots in Guilin are in humanities.


When visiting Guilin City on the 5th, there are fees for all parks and scenic spots in the city. Among the three mountains in the city, Elephant Trunk Mountain is the most famous and is famous for its appearance like an elephant. The other two mountains are Fubo Mountain and Diecai Mountain. Diecai Mountain is the highest in the city, giving a panoramic view of Guilin and forming a superimposed shape outside; Fubo Mountain is mainly humanistic, and another peak runs straight into the Li River. Other scenic spots include Reed Flute Rock, Qixing Rock, and Wangcheng Scenic Area. Reed Flute Rock, Qixing Rock is a cave, and Yinzi Rock in Yangshuo County is also a cave. It is recommended to choose either Reed Flute Rock or Yinzi Rock to visit. It is best to follow a tour guide to walk the cave. Three points to see and seven points to listen, and you need to add imagination to be interesting; Qixing Rock is in the seven-star park category, and requires an additional fee to enrich the culture; Wangcheng is the address of many previous vassals, and Guilin has had 8 top champions, which is a historical record. If it is just a scenic view, it is recommended to only visit the two rivers and four lakes in Guilin at night. The rest of the scenic spots have average landscapes and are mostly for introducing culture. You can stay more in Yangshuo. If it is the peak season, you need to book a cruise ticket in advance. The peak season is about 180 yuan and the duration is 90 minutes. You can visit the Lijiang River (urban part), Taohua River, Mulong Lake, Gui Lake, Rong Lake, and Shanhu Lake; you can see Elephant Trunk Mountain, Fubo Mountain, Diecai Mountain, and the four lakes are internal lakes in the city. The water level is controlled by humans and level with the streets to enjoy the city scenery. If you are interested in human geography, you can buy a full ticket for about 180 yuan to visit Reed Flute Rock, Qixing Rock, Elephant Trunk Mountain, Fubo Mountain, and Diecai Mountain Scenic Area. Among them, the Reed Flute Rock is far away, and the other scenic spots are similar. It is generally impossible to play all of them in one day, so you need to choose according to your interests. It is recommended to stay near Jiefang Bridge for night accommodation, close to the cruise ship terminal and scenic spots. Book a hotel according to the route in advance and it will not be very expensive. The delicious food is Guilin rice noodles and beer fish. The rice noodles do not need to go to a big store, and the normal price is 6 - 8 yuan; the beer fish is the best taste. Guilin Central Square has a lot of delicious food and is a pedestrian street.



Set off from Guilin on the 6th to visit the Li River. This is the place where the primary school text "Guilin's Mountains and Waters Are the Best in the World" and the 20-yuan background picture are located. It is a must-visit place when coming to Guilin. I chose to take a one-day trip to the Lijiang River with a group. Basically, there is a travel agency on the first floor of every hotel in Guilin. When you come to the hotel in the morning, you usually take a yacht and a bamboo raft to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The price is within 200 per person. The boat fare, door fee and fare will be quoted. There will be no compulsory consumption or other expenses halfway. Guilin specialties (grosvenori, drunken fish, longan) will be recommended on the bus. The bus will drive from Guilin to Yangshuo and back to Guilin. I got off in Yangshuo. It is very troublesome to travel by car by yourself. In addition, there are many people in the peak season, so it is very troublesome to buy tickets. In the peak season, you need to book tickets in advance. Otherwise, there will be no boat if you are late, and riding on a private bamboo raft is risky and you can easily be cheated. Xingping to Yangdi is the essence of the tour, and the scenery is mainly in this section. Note At present, Xingping Ancient Town is under construction, and the traffic is not good. Roads are easily blocked during the peak season. The booking time must be reserved and not too tight. It rained heavily when I was on a boat, but it just matched the misty rain of Guilin. The scenery was more beautiful. The mountains in Guilin are not high and are not connected together. They are stone mountains and beautiful. The fog will not block the mountains. The only thing is that it is cold, very cold, pay attention to keep warm. The water is very clear and the mountains reflect on the water. What do you think he looks like? When I was playing, I found that tourists nowadays care too much about the background comparison of RMB 20. What they care about is whether this scene resembles the background on the money, rather than whether the scene here is beautiful. This is contrary to the original intention. Moreover, they are enjoying the whole scenery instead of this scene. Of course, I also used money to compare it, but it's not very similar, just the outline, because it's now the low tide period, and the viewing direction will be different, but it's beautiful and quietly watch the whole scenery. This is just a representative place. Don't take too many photos, but enjoy the scenery on the boat more. On the way, I went with the group to experience the culture of the Dong nationality. The Dong nationality is a matriarchal society and specializes in handicrafts silverware and weaving. Scenery of Shili Gallery can be seen along the way. At night, after getting off the bus in Yangshuo, we visited West Street. There are many foreign friends in Guilin, but unfortunately our English is not good. This is a holy place for Chinese and foreign voice exchanges. After dinner, we went to Jiaqing Bar to drink and listen to music. Stay at a youth hostel on West Street at night. Because I spent one day in Guilin, I didn't go to other scenic spots in Yangshuo. If I planned to only travel the two rivers and four lakes at night in Guilin, I could have stayed in Yangshuo for more time and went to the Yulong River rafting; or Rock climbing on Thumb Mountain and Tongmen Mountain; Or ride along the Li River, of course, it is also an excellent step by step on the Li River, but it takes time; or go to Yinziyan to see the karst cave; there is also the "Impression of Third Sister Liu" performance led by Zhang Yimou. It is also good to enjoy famous performances.

On the 7th, I will go from Yangshuo to Longsheng to visit the Longji Terrace. There are direct trains that are not available online, and usually transfer to Guilin, so it is recommended to go to Yangshuo for a day and a half, take a bus back to Guilin in the afternoon, visit the two rivers and four lakes in the evening, and then take a bus to the Longji Terrace to play. It will be smoother. The ticket price for Longji Terrace is 95, and the ticket office is far away from Zhaizi, so when you take the bus, pay attention to the Longji Terrace Dazhai Parking Lot. The fare from Yangshuo to Guilin will not exceed 25 in the peak season, and the fare from Guilin to Dazhai Parking Lot is only 45 yuan. The Longji Terrace Scenic Area consists of four blocks: Guzhuang Village, Ping 'an Zhuang Terrace, Jinkeng Hongyao Terrace and Xiaozhai Hongyao Terrace. The viewing areas are Ping' an and Jinkeng. These four blocks are far away and I can't finish playing in one day. The place I went to was Jinkeng Hongyao Village. The Yao people live here. The ladies here have long hair, wrapped in a circle, and wearing red clothes. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of terraces here. It's a bit early to go to Qingming Festival. May or October is the best viewing period. It's not over yet. However, the pastoral life here is very comfortable and original. In the afternoon, you can hear mountain people singing folk songs. The rest of the time is mostly busy. My own affairs, the natural scenery is quite good. I hope it will not be over-developed. There are many foreigners playing here. In the afternoon, I watched the sunset on the terraced fields and ate the local delicacies of bamboo tube chicken (138 yuan) and bamboo tube rice (20 yuan) after going down the mountain. I personally felt that the taste was good. Living on the mountain at night, there will be some mosquitoes. I will go to bed early on the 8th to watch the sunrise. It's cold on the mountain. Wear more if you want to see it. After enjoying the beautiful scenery in the morning, we have to go down the mountain and return home. It takes about an hour to walk down the mountain. The path is winding. Navigation here is basically useless. I rely on myself to ask the villagers for directions. There are no major roads and stone roads, which are more circuitous. There is a scenic bus to the competition parking lot. It is going to Longsheng. The bus driver tells the conductor clearly that he is going to Guilin. He will contact the bus from Longsheng to Guilin and change buses to Guilin when they meet. Or the boss where you stay will help you book a car to Guilin, and you will be ready to return home after arriving in Guilin

Return.



The four-day trip to Guilin was quite satisfying. I went to most of the places I wanted to visit, but I couldn't go to a few places due to time problems. I would like to leave a little regretful. If I visit my old place again in the future, I can also take a look. A few randomly selected photos are not the essence, and the beautiful scenery is left to everyone to enjoy. Give some suggestions to friends who plan to visit Guilin in the future to make the journey smoother and make the holiday a complete one.
